$80,0000 a year, for that sort of money you could hire an IRC developer full time and get them to spend a day or two managing the company server.

How can anyone find a decent developer for $80k? Even not factoring in overhead and benefit costs.

In most of the world that will buy you a decent mid level developer at least, a great senior or two in many. Even if it's below market, if this was my pet OSS project I'd happily take a pay cut to get more job satisfaction.
